  • Carrickfergus revisited

    I blogged about this amazing performance before. See below. Yet, coming across it again I felt compelled to write a little more. This performance is pure magic! The song, Carrickfergus, is a sad, traditional Irish ballad. The soprano soloist, Sibéal Ní Chasaide, is absolutely outstanding with a crystal clear tone and she can project powerfully.…

  • Towards a Godly Theocracy: Enlightenment Secular Ideals, or God’s Word to Govern Us

    Background In this article, I discuss what an ideal theocracy would look like, and why I think a modified theonomy within the context of a constitutional theocracy is the best model for Christian governance. To that end, I posit that the Golden Age in America was during the 17th and early 18th centuries when the…

  • Two-Party Tyranny: America Deserves Better

    Background I posit that America is hurting by our two-party political system. For most of the country, there is not even a viable third-party candidate on a local or state level, let alone national. Nearly every single Western democracy has at the very least 3 major political parties, and most have many more. There is…

  • The Chosen: A Reformed Defense of the Show

    The very popular TV series, The Chosen, tells the story of Jesus over the course of 7 seasons (currently on season 3). It has sharply divided Christians as to whether it is proper or not. Some point to the fact that the production company, Angel Studios, was founded in part by 2 Mormons as enough…

  • The New Mission Field

    For generations (some 45-50 years): Gen-X, Millennials, and finally Gen-Z, there has been this popular idea among Christian parents that they could use their children to retake pagan society for Christ. So they were in effect active missionaries when they went to government (public) K-12 schools and universities. This idea has had devastating effects. Instead…

  • Transgender insanity

    It is a simple biological fact that you cannot change your sex. Gender = biological sex. There are only 2 sexes, male and female, and thus only 2 genders. This has been the accepted wisdom until the past 20-25 years. Slowly, but surely, as the LGBT movement has grown and become powerful and widely accepted…

  • Two Songs by Elvis about Love

    Here are two songs performed by Elvis that describe diametrically opposed ways of experiencing love. One is about losing love, and the other is about falling in love. What Now My Love Elvis conveys deep anguish and heartache. The emotional turmoil is palpable. The man loses everything and he loses the will to live. When…

  • My Favorite Gospel Songs by Elvis Presley

    When you hear Elvis sing gospel music, his love for Jesus is quite apparent. He sang gospel from his heart, with so much passion and conviction! No one can come close to him in gospel music, except for Mahalia Jackson. Elvis recorded dozens of gospel songs, in this post are 7 of my favorites! I…

  • 1960s Folk Music Medley

    The first song is Both Sides Now by Judy Collins. Lyrics Bows and flows of angel hairAnd ice cream castles in the airAnd feathered canyons everywhereI’ve looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sunThey rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I would have doneBut clouds got in my way I’ve…
